Answer 1

Answer

8173.33 dollars/mo

Step-by-step explanation

1 rupee is equivalent to 0.016 dollars

1 year is equivalent to 12 months

Using these conversion factors, the equivalence of 6,130,000 rupees per year in dollars per month is calculated as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 6,130,000\frac{rupees}{year}=6,130,000\frac{rupees}{year}\times\frac{0.016\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ rupee}}\times\frac{1\text{ year}}{12\text{ months}} \\ 6,130,000\frac{rupees}{year}=\frac{6,130,000\times0.016\times1}{1\times12}\frac{rupees\times dollars\times year}{year\times rupee\times month} \\ 6,130,000\frac{rupees}{year}=8173.33\text{ }\frac{dollars}{mo} \end{gathered}$
